David IS MOST DEFINATELY the next Broadway Star. His God given talent as an actor, singer and performer is without question in the same caliber as anyone on Broadway. I’ve seen him perform in several stage productions, and his energy and enthusiasm exudes from the stage, as he totally lights up the audience. It’s rare to see a performer with such a diverse array of talent, (acting, singing, and dancing) that has yet to be discovered. It’s a pleasure to see him at the beginning of what’s bound to be a long and prosperous carrier on Broadway, TV or whatever he chooses to peruse.

this young man has a great charisma and I believe a future star on broadway. Nice looking guy who I believe will do very well and go very far if given the chance.

David is an outstanding performer. He has a strong beautiful voice. He sings with such emotion which is so apparent in this performance. I have see him in many of his productions and he has always been the shining star of every show. He is an awesome actor & singer with such diversity. He has the skills to accurately portray each character in every performance. He brings life to every character that you believe he is that person on the stage. David is the best at whatever he does.

I saw David in a brilliantly written play by someone with a similar name. He was awesome and deserves to be next broadway star for his incredible acting and singing ability if not for his “young” pacino, “older” pacino and deniro impressions alone. Good luck dude.

I guess the walking down in the middle of the song kinda worked..:P

I worked with David in a play called “Hugo In London” written by Marina Neary about Victor Hugo’s exploits in Bermondsey before all the fuss. I was not on stage during his scene so was able to watch from the wings. His performance of a old, decrepit man, inprisoned for years was beyond startling. Then we all went to kareoke afterwards and that pretty much sealed the deal… this guy had all the chops. Break legs man!

September 14th, 2011 at 7:01 pm
WOW!! How awesome this guy is!! I can’t wait to see him on BROADWAY!!! You get my vote for sure!!
